Pay What
You Want.

$7, $17 or $37. Same full lab at every price.

We believe actor training should be accessible to ALL. So you choose the price: pay what fits your budget, or what matches the value you get from the lab.

How a lab works

Tape. Study. Re-tape.

01

Tape the scene

Download the sides, read the assignment and put your own first take on tape before you see anyone else's.

02

Study the tapes

Watch the breakdown, then three sample tapes with timestamped notes. Click a note to jump to that exact moment.

03

Borrow and re-tape

Pick up the choices that worked, run the checklist and re-tape. You'll see exactly what changed.

Questions

FAQ

Is the lab really the same at every price?

Yes. $7, $17 and $37 get you the identical lab. Nothing is locked, trimmed or added.

Which lab should I start with?

Start with the type of scene you're being asked to tape most right now. If you're not sure, Comedy and Action are good places to build range.

Can I buy more than one lab?

Yes. Each lab is its own purchase, and you choose your price every time.

How long do I have access?

Once you buy a lab, it's yours to come back to whenever you have a new audition.

I'm already in the Self-Paced Course Program. Do I need these?

No. The labs are part of the program library, so you're covered. These standalone labs are for actors who want to start with one scene type.
